I feel almost surreal with all of these truly "web 2.0" applications that are emerging. A few years ago, when Web 2.0 was new on the scene, everybody completely screwed up the meaning of it. The whole purposes is not flashiness, AJAX, and rounded corners. It's about how all of our applications start converging and just simply work together, whether they be on the desktop or on the web. I predicted it years ago. I've been waiting for it ever since. And the realization that's it's just around the corner is amazing. - Adam http://www.adamreyher.com - Adam Reyher from FriendFeed MT Plugin

2 thoughts: 1. Gist.com might be considered the rough beginning of a "cloud agent" with email as the input rather than Twitter. 2. If you are just interested in hooking Twitter -> Delicious, try http://twittero.us/ (twitchboard is not responding for me right now). - Adam Loving from FriendFeed MT Plugin

@trixie I find it interesting that I commented on this article just before you quoted what I said about phpBB on Twitter. I do see your point about how spammers will be able to use such services to their advantage. But what about email? This was a new technology in the early days of the web, and spammers have harnessed its power as well. The issue with spammers is that every move you make, they'll counter it just as skillfully. Does this mean that every new idea or web application which has the potential to be used by spammers (which is basically everything) should be shunned? As long as I've been using twitter, delicious, friendfeed, etc, to be perfectly honest, I've not really had an issue with spam. Sure, it's there. But you can filter around it just like you filter around spam in just about every other service. - Adam http://www.adamreyher.com - Adam Reyher from FriendFeed MT Plugin
